Corrie fans demand ITV bosses bring back star after 13 years
You might even have a storyline in mind that you think would be perfect for them, if they were to come back to the cobbles. Just some of the most recent Corrie departures include Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh-Jupe) and Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) – both Weatherfield residents sadly died within weeks of each other. But over on the popular soap's Reddit thread, fans are demanding Corrie bosses bring back one ITV star – Amber Kalirai. Most recognised as the daughter of Corrie icon Dev Alahan and his shop worker Ravinder Kalirai (following an affair), Amber (played by Nikki Patel) first appeared on our TV screens in 2005. Before leaving the street for good in 2012, she was later known for her rebellious attitude after being kicked out of university due to failing her exams. However, 13 years since her last appearance, viewers have called for the return of one of their 'favourite characters' as she could 'make things a bit interesting'. It comes as this profile posted on the subreddit r/coronationstreet: 'Bring back Amber, Dev's daughter, please Kate Brooks. 'I am currently watching classic coronation street episodes. Nikki Patel as Amber is so funny, especially with the back and forth banter with her dad. 'A naturally funny northern actress is what Corrie needs. She must be in her mid 30s now.' An account responded: 'Thought about her a few months ago too. 'She was a bit of a troublemaker, could make things a bit interesting especially with Adi [Aadi] leaving, it could add a bit more storyline options for Dev's family which is barely a thing anymore on the show.' Someone even said she could be brought back to take over the corner shop now that Aadi Alahan was exiting the programme. Next week: An unknown woman visits Gary in the hospital, Kevin lies about his cancer, and Dee-Dee goes behind James' back. Read more here: Back in April, Adam Hussain, who has played the role of Aadi for five years, confirmed he would be departing Corrie. One fan responded: 'Thought Amber was great when she was first introduced and had an odd friendship with Norris. "But then when she came back she was quite annoying. So it depends which Amber we'd be getting!' Another said they also 'loved the banter' she had with Norris. This person commented: 'YES! One of my favourite characters.

This fan also shared: 'Brilliant character I agree.'
